Blogging on Meds

So Randi Rhodes is always annoying. Everyone knows that. I usually tolerate her exhausting rants and nasally tirades because to be honest, I like hearing women with strong views. In the world of politics and well, in the world in general…to be a woman with a strong voice takes a lot of guts and requires thick skin. (men love to pretend they like strong women, but coincidently find EVERY woman who is hugely successful and empowered to be unbearable, i.e, Oprah, Madonna, etc. ) So, I try to keep that in mind when I listen to her show. But I’m so tired of women bashing in this manner. I’m not the PC police by any stretch but don’t we have enough men calling us bitches, whores and hussies (if you live in England) as it is? Do we really need to become the self loathing gender that fights among ourselves while men continue to run ( and ruin) the world? Now look, I don’t like Hillary either, rather, I don’t support her- and yeah, she is a bitch. But as Tina Fey said, “YOU HAVE TO BE A BITCH.” Do you think Randi got where she did by being sweet and agreeable? Hell no! But to be Randi Rhodes, a voice for the “progressive movement” to call a woman, the first female presidential candidate of this country a whore! WOW. This sucks. It sucks like white guys who use the N word to their other white guy friends when no black people are around. It sucks like people who think everything is “gay”. It sucks like the guy with herpes calling a random girl they don’t even know a slut.

Women should be angry. Angry that we hate on each other this way and angry that we tolerate it. Just words, right Hill? NO. Because the sad fact is, we still make 77 cents to the mans dollar. Until there is a fair playing field, we need to avoid the woman on woman crime ya’ll.

If you don’t like Hillary’s voting record or her shitty campaign tactics, fine. I don’t either. But again, this whole shirt ironing, bros before hoes BULLSHIT makes me want to move to mars.

In response to the following clip, Air America has not only suspended Randi but has been quoted as “Air America encourages strong opinions about public affairs but does not condone such abusive, ad hominem language by our Hosts,” said chair Charlie Kireker.
